Pulses Dosa with Tomato chutney

We have heard about different types of Dosa. We use different types of grains like rice, wheat, ragi, soya etc for making dosas. This is a special dosa made out of sprouted pulses alone and I was really doubtful about how it will come out. Just tried it once and it is soft at the same time yummy and healthy too.

As you know pulses supply the same amount of calories as cereals and in terms of the protein content it is twice the protein content as that of cereals and hence is an excellent aid for boosting the metabolism and thereby weight loss. More above the nutrient content is also rich. So its worth trying as it gives lot of health benefits.

Here is the recipe

Green gram -1/2 cup
Black chana -1/2 cup
Flax seeds -1/4 cup
Horse gram -1/2 cup

You can add more varieties of spices available in ur kitchen as per your taste.

Urad dhaal - 1/2 cup

Soak all these together with few methi seeds and allow them to sprout.
Grind them together to a smooth batter along with some poha, say a handful. I have added the left over dosa/idli batter also to allow better fermentation and not to make it sour.If you dont have left over batter add 2-3 tbspn of raw rice also while grinding.

Make the dosas as usual. Tastes even much better if added ghee or drizzled oil over top.
